A sip of rouge, dyed red lips, a phoenix crown, a red scarf, and a red wedding dress. Yes, today is her wedding day. Originally, a wedding day should be happy and anticipated.
But she could only smile bitterly and worry.
"Ruozhi, you have to be obedient when you get married. After you get married, you can't make your own decisions like you did at your parents' house, and lose your temper in a arrogant way. I will be worried about Er Niang." Er Niang ordered while helping her tidy up her clothes.
explain.
"Er Niang, don't worry. After I got married, those debts can be repaid with my generous gifts, and I can still leave a sum to live on. It's very cost-effective." Yan Ruocheng said with a slight smile.
Her smile made the second mother next to her feel a little chilly, and she asked with a guilty conscience: "Ruocheng, you really don't plan to escape halfway, do you? If you escape from the marriage, your father, me, and your brother will all be arrested together.
It’s implicated, you really wouldn’t do this, would you?”
"If I really don't care about your life or death, I stole it a few days ago. Why do I have to wait until now? Er Niang, you should take good care of my father and brother while I am away. Let my brother help my father in the hospital.
Come on, stop gambling. If you owe other people money, I won't be able to save you by then." Yan Ruocheng sighed and said helplessly.
She actually wanted to lecture Er Niang. If Er Niang hadn't used her name to owe a lot of money to others, and had been tricked into writing a loan with such a short repayment period, she would have been deceived in a short time with her meager income as a village doctor.
There was no way she could afford it in a short time, and there was nothing she could do. She didn't have to be forced to marry an old wealthy businessman as a concubine.
"How could it be? Ruocheng, if you serve your husband well, he will pamper you, and then you will be able to honor your ancestors and protect the Yan family. Your father is really lucky to have a daughter like you."
Erniang felt a little relieved when she heard that Ruozheng's tone was nonchalant, and she said in a flattering way.
How could Yan Ruocheng be in the mood to pay attention to her flattery? He heard the sound of drums outside the door, indicating that the big red sedan chair for the wedding had arrived.
She covered herself with a red scarf and asked her second mother to take her out. Her father bid farewell to her with tears in her eyes. Just like that, she got on the big red sedan and set off in the direction of her husband's family.
It would take at least half an hour to reach her husband's house. This period of time was the beginning of her true self-rescue. She had already thought of a plan to escape from the marriage.
She took out the prepared disguise tools from the hidden pocket of her clothes, and first put on an ugly girl's makeup that would not fade. The rouge she used was recently developed by her own medicine. It would not fall off easily when it gets wet, and she painted a large dark patch on it.
The red birthmark is on the side of the face, and a thin layer of rouge is applied to make it look natural and real.
Except for the birthmark, which can't scare anyone, she took out the refined potion from her stocking and applied a few drops on her arms and neck. The affected skin gradually showed symptoms of chickenpox, without itching or pain.
, it will dissipate automatically in a few days without leaving any scars. She usually uses it to remove small acne, but now it comes in handy.
Half an hour later, the wedding team arrived and stopped at the back door of the groom's house. Since he was marrying a concubine, he had to enter through the back door, so everything was kept simple. She was carried into the bride's room by the matchmaker.
She was the only one waiting in the quiet new house. She wanted to make the final preparations. She took out a pill from her crown and put it in her mouth.
A wealthy old man came in. After drinking two glasses of wine, he walked up to the bride with a sultry look and unveiled the red scarf with excitement on his face.
Yan Ruozhen smiled at him with a 100% charming smile, showing her yellow and black teeth, and a putrid and disgusting smell came out of her mouth. This was the effect of the elixir just now.
"Wow! Ghost! Where did this crazy woman come from -!" The rich old man was frightened and fell to the ground, pointing at her in horror.
"Your bride, husband, why don't you recognize me and fall to the ground?" Yan Ruocheng's goal was to scare him into terminating the engagement without getting back the gift money.
"You, you are talking nonsense! I have clearly seen your appearance, it was not like this at that time, oh, I know, you pretended to deceive me on purpose, right?" After being frightened, the rich old man gathered his thoughts and stood up again.
Yan Ruocheng smiled evilly in his heart and said secretly: "Then look at how lifelike my disguise is."
She pretended to be pitiful and said: "Husband, what are you talking about? My true appearance now is my true appearance. At that time, I deliberately concealed it in order to make you fall in love with me, but I want to be honest with you."
, so his true colors are revealed.”
The rich old man approached with hesitation, to get a better idea of her ugly appearance, but the stench from her mouth made him sick to his stomach. When he smelled it, he pressed his nose tightly with his hand, took a few steps back quickly, and asked, "Why does your breath smell so bad?"
what did you eat?"
"Does it stink? Maybe you ate the buns and didn't rinse your mouth." After saying that, she deliberately spit towards the bed.
The rich old man saw her ugly appearance, the more disgusted he felt, and said with great disgust: "Go back, this marriage will be refunded, and the gift money will be returned to me another day."
"This is not okay, husband. The moment I left the house, everyone in the village thought that I was married to you. If you ask me to go back like this, where will my face be?" Yan Ruozhen lay on the bed, curled up.
He raised his legs and said.
"Don't call me husband again. I didn't marry an ugly monster like you as my concubine! Get out or not! If you don't, I'll call someone to drive you out!" The rich old man turned around to call his servants.
"Master Fu, you have been so sneaky about marrying a concubine. Are you afraid that your first wife will catch you?" Yan Ruocheng knew that his first wife was a strict henpecker since the wedding was so shabby and shady.
, he is very afraid of his first wife.
"What do you want to say!" The rich old man was stunned, turned back and glared at her.
"What I want to say is, what will happen if the news about me as an ugly bride reaches your first wife? I heard that your first wife's family is well-established, so I'm afraid your first wife will definitely not let you go, right?" Yan
Ruocheng said with a wicked smile.
"You ugly woman, you want to threaten me!" The rich old man angrily went over and grabbed her arm. He scratched and tore the chickenpox on her arm, and the water squeezed out and stuck to his hand. He was very disgusted with it.
Throw her arm away.
"No, no, how can I threaten Mr. Fu? I'm just thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds. I have a piece of paper to cancel the engagement. Mr. Fu, if you sign it and put your thumbprint, we will not default on each other." Yan Ruocheng said.
The divorce papers that had been prepared long ago were handed to him and he said with a smile.
The rich old man took the divorce paper, looked at it, and said angrily: "You obviously want to defraud me of the gift money."
"It's not that I defrauded you of the gift money, it was to compensate for the loss of my reputation. I told you that the whole village knew that I was married, but you suddenly returned me like this. How should I explain it? Mr. Fu, you are so slow.
, then I have no choice but to argue with your wife. Anyway, an ugly girl like me will die." Yan Ruozhen put the ink pad box in front of him and asked him to press his fingerprints.
The rich old man considered the matter of his concubine and originally planned to do it secretly while his wife returned to her parents' home. If this ugly woman didn't stop making trouble, the matter would get bigger and it would be really difficult to handle. He thought about it and decided, forget it.
Wealth should be treated as a loss of wealth to ward off disasters.
"I signed it, get out of here! Don't dirty my place! Don't let anyone see you when you go out!" The rich old man reluctantly signed, pressed his fingerprints, and waved people away.
Yan Ruozhen put away the divorce papers and was about to leave. When she walked to the door, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Master Fu, you just grabbed my hand. I guess your hands were infected with my skin disease. Now it's gone."
Red rash.”
"What did you say?" The rich old man looked at his hand nervously. As she said, it really had a rash.
"But don't be afraid. Hurry up and boil water with grapefruit leaves and take a bath. Soaking in it for an hour will cure the disease." After Yan Ruozhen explained, he ran away.
The rich man was scolding her fiercely inside as she ran away. Yan Ruocheng had already come out of the back door of the rich family's courtyard and slipped towards the nearby bustling Zuiyunyan brothel.
She asked her brothel friend Jiao Niang for help and wanted to hide there for a few days. If she escaped home now, she would definitely become the laughing stock of the village. The two made an appointment to meet in the back alley of the brothel.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you acting like a ghost during the day to scare people?" Jiao Niang knew her situation, but when she saw Yan Ruocheng looking so scary and disguised, she couldn't help but vomited.
"Hey, if you don't pretend like this, you can't escape. I want to stay with you for a few days and check the situation before going back. My dear, my only closest friend, will you help me?" Yan Ruocheng hugged her.
Holding the girl's arm, she said coquettishly.
"Okay, don't be sweet, but you have to hide well. If the boss lady sees it, I will be scolded." Jiao Niang has always been unable to resist her coquettishness, so she will definitely agree to help her.
"I know, I'm very smart, don't worry." Yan Ruocheng said with a smile.
Jiao Niang took her in through the back door, and when no one was passing by the corridor of the VIP room, she planned to take Ruo Li to take a detour to the vacant pavilion on the third floor. When she turned the corner, she met the boss's wife walking towards her. Jiao Niang was so anxious that she
He pushed Ruozheng directly into a VIP room next to him.
"My dear, you are here. I am still looking for you around. Come and follow me quickly. Mr. Zhou is waiting for you to drink in Room 1. Boss Yan also urges you to accompany him..."
The landlady stretched out her hand and pulled the girl and said as she walked, the two of them walked away.
Yan Ruocheng entered the VIP room and thought: "If you go out and walk around rashly, it will be difficult to explain to the landlady. It's better to stay here and wait for the lady to come back to me. Find a place to hide first and wait quietly.
.”
So, she hid under the widest and most inconspicuous lace bed, planning to rest and take a nap under the bed.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and through the cracks in the bedcloth, she saw two pairs of feet, a man and a woman, coming in. The man's steps were staggering and weak, as if he was being dragged away by the woman.
Chu Meiren helped the unconscious Huang Chenling lie down on the bed. The stunning man in front of her was the prey of her dreams. She traced his handsome face with her fingertips and whispered: "I didn't expect to meet such a handsome man in a place like this."
Young Master, but you are unlucky to have met me. How could I let you drink a few glasses of wine and let you go so easily? Hehe..."
Yan Ruocheng smelled the fragrance of the ecstasy flower lingering on the oiran's dress. She must have smelled the fragrance of the flower while drinking and was knocked unconscious. She thought: "How could a serious gentleman do this?"
If you come to a place like a brothel to drink, this person may be a lustful person. However, he may also be an official who comes in to do business. It would be a pity if such a person is robbed by an oiran. Should you save him?
